Most of us are familiar with at least a little emotional turbulence. And if you’re perfectly honest, you’ve probably lost your sh*t at some point in your life. Maybe for you it’s a rare occurrence, or perhaps it happens to you on a daily basis. It could take the form of a little outburst that’s done and dusted in minutes. Or … Read More

We live in a culture that wants to stop pain. Just walk down any supermarket or chemist isle and there’s an array of drugs all designed to numb both our physical and mental pain. And these products are top sellers, because people just don’t want to feel pain. Yet have you ever stopped and asked yourself: What exactly is pain? … Read More

I’m certainly no stranger to thinking that if I get what I want, I will experience happiness. I’m sure you probably think that too. When I get that house, that partner, that ring, that job, that chocolate dessert… I’ll be happy. But will you? Or is that really just an illusion? I spent many years chasing what I thoughts I … Read More

If you enjoy reading self-help books, going to inspirational talks or yoga classes, chances are you’ll be familiar with hearing the words ‘Listen to your inner voice’. So let me ask you this… Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a direct line to your inner voice; your True Self? Do you find yourself wishing that … Read More

Meditation. You either love it, or you possibly don’t fully understand it. And that is the purpose of this blog. To shed some light on what meditation really is and how it works, because too often I get told by people ‘Oh, but I can’t meditate’. Upon asking a few more questions, I soon discover that what they believe meditation … Read More

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you ignored your internal scam-radar? I have. Big time! And this is what I’d like to share with you today, so that maybe you can take something away from my experience, to ensure you don’t fall into the same trap. It all started five years ago….

You’re certainly not alone if you have trouble getting to sleep, staying asleep, or waking feel more tired than when you first hit the hay. Why does this happen? There are a few contributing factors, but the main one is this… We live in a world chock-full to the brim of ‘information’. There’s just so much information that our brains … Read More

When I first saw the cross show up on the pregnancy test, I was excited. My husband and I both. We’d wanted to have a child sometime soon, and now we had a baby in my belly. We began telling people straight away. I know the general rule is wait ‘till you’re out of the danger zone at 3-months, but our philosophy … Read More

I write this blog you after receiving some very sad news last night. I was lying in bed, about to turn the light off, when I received a call from my husband. He always calls (or texts) when he finishes a gig, to let me know he’s on his way home. Yet last night, his call came with some awful … Read More

Over the past few months I learnt a very important lesson to do with deadlines. And I decided to share it with you today, in the hope that it might help you create more freedom and more happiness in your life. So let’s begin with just one question… How do you feel about deadlines? Do they choke you with fear, … Read More

Emotions are ‘energy in motion’. When we store negative emotions in the body – for example, anger, fear, guilt or shame – they sicken the body. Even scientific research now shows that suppressed emotions lead to illness and disease. When we experience a situation that triggers a negative emotion in us, if we don’t fully feel it in that moment, … Read More

Fear. It’s the one thing that gets under our skin, and can steal us away from ourself, if we let it. You know what fear feels like. You’ve experienced it! And it really doesn’t feel that grand. In life, we are either in a state of love, or a state of fear. There really is no in between. You know … Read More

Can you embrace your body.. fully? Take a moment to ask yourself that question: Can I fully embrace my own body? Can I accept the skin I’m in? If you answered ‘No’, then you’re not alone. 91% of women hate their bodies. How shocking is that? How we feel about our body plays a crucial role in how we feel about ourselves … Read More

Hello friend. I would like to take a few moments to share with you my tears, my lessons and my personal insights derived from the six weeks I took off work to travel to France with my gorgeous husband as part of a holiday/belated honeymoon.

Do you sometimes feel like a failure? Like you’ve stuffed up, made a mistake, or simply aren’t doing as well as you think you could be? You’re not alone.

If you’re not happy with your life right now, or any part of it, then learning how to create change is what will help you start crafting your own personal love story. Of course, change isn’t always easy and it’s not always comfortable either. In fact, change is rarely comfortable. The reason for this, is because in order to create … Read More

Ha? That doesn’t make sense, you say. ‘I cannot have what I ‘want’ but I CAN have anything.’ Isn’t that a contradiction? No! You can have anything you want. Let me explain…. Nothing happens in life, that did not first start out, as a thought. Thoughts are subtle, yet powerful, forms of energy. We think something, it creates a reaction, … Read More

What happens when you say you ‘I can’t do it’? It automatically sets up an expectation that you can’t do whatever it is that you would like to do. I can’t eat well, I can’t change jobs, I can’t find a good man, I can’t afford that course, I can’t find the time to have a self-love practise, I can’t get ahead in life, I can’t… and the list goes son and … Read More

It’s really easy to say I will self-nurture once I get all these other tasks I ‘have’ to do out of the way. I’m sure you’ve said it. Hell, I used to say it ALL the time! I’ll just do these dishes, answer these emails, help my friend with her… what was I helping her with again? And then I’ll … Read More

Let me explain ….. You know all this self-help stuff. You’ve read a ka-zillion books on how to win at life… How to run a thriving business that nourishes you personally as much as it nourishes your bank account, how to snag the hot guy and keep him, how to loose weight and fall in love with your body, how … Read More

This blog follows on from last week’s blog: Do you have a spiritual teacher? If you haven’t read it, I would suggest reading it first, then come back to this blog, as it will make more sense. We go to school to learn spelling, math, art and so forth, yet many of us don’t realise that our real school, where … Read More

The moment we are conceived we start learning; learning about life, learning about ourself. We learn about how to operate in the world, how to relate with others, how to handle money, how to look after our body, how to think about ourself; essentially how to do this thing called ‘life’. Yet when we grow up into an adult, and … Read More

It seems like we have many problems in life; the car breaking down, our partner leaving us, money struggles keeping us from having the life we desire, an overwhelming feeling of loneliness, diagnosis’ of depression, infertility, or even worse, cancer. Yet we really only have one problem. And that one problem is causing all of these other problems that we … Read More

It’s easy to get distracted. You log onto Facebook to update your profile, and before you know it three hours have passed, with you feeling a little ripped off. What distracted you? Other people.

Are you a wishful thinker? While we certainly want to remain focused on the positives in life – it’s one of our most powerful manifesting tools – we need to make sure that what we want consciously, is congruent with what we are programmed to have in life. A lot of people go through life thinking things will change. If … Read More

Is willpower really the way? So often I hear people saying: ‘Just use willpower!’ ‘Willpower, that’s what you need to stick to that diet, to get your work done, to get ahead in life, to…’ Problem is, willpower doesn’t work? Why? Because you have to ‘will’ yourself to do it, which to be completely honest, is hard work. You have … Read More

On my honeymoon my husband and I decided to start a veggie garden. We were super enthusiastic, buying all the seeds, extra soil, and any other gardening paraphernalia we thought we’d need. We got our little hand spades and started digging into the garden beds to turn over and prepare the soil, only to find…. rocks. LOTS of rocks. Oh … Read More

Nobody wants to feel hurt. Nobody wants to feel hurt, because.. well… it hurts. Yet many people are carrying around a LOT of hurt. Yet just like mold, if you don’t clean the hurt up, it only grows and expands. What happens when hurt is left to fester? You start to lash out at the people you love, you become … Read More

So I have a confession to make… I was a binge eater. Having grown up a skinny girl who ate what she liked, I was suddenly faced with rapid weight gain in my early 20s, if I so much as looked at food the wrong way. Food became the enemy. Yet like the so-called ‘bad boys’, they somehow manage to … Read More

I remember when the movie Limitless came out. It really opened my eyes to what was possible. For those of you who haven’t seen the movie Limitless, it’s about a guy named Bradley whose life is completely transformed when he takes a top-secret ‘smart-drug’ that allows him to use 100% of his brain and become a perfect version of himself. … Read More

So what is the ego that all the spiritual gurus talk of? The ego is an image you have of yourself that gives you a sense of identity – and that identity takes shape from the things you tell yourself and the things other people say about you, that you accept as truth. Those patterns and behaviours and labels you … Read More

Could you spend a day in silence? This is my challenge to you this week. We all have distractions and craziness in our lives. Between jobs, relationships, driving, food shopping, meals, kids after school programs, and finally making it to yoga class on Saturday morning, we have perfected multi-tasking at its best. Yet there comes a time when we need … Read More

Now before I teach you this 2-minute exercise that will eliminate anxiety, there’s a couple of things you need to understand. Firstly.. what is anxiety?

We all know what a blood transfusion is. It’s giving blood intravenously to someone who needs more blood to physically stay alive. We certainly do need blood to keep our physical body alive, but in order to stay truly alive, we need love. Love is what energetically awakens us so we can feel deeply alive. Many people these days live … Read More

It was December last year when I received an email inviting me to speak on one of the most prestigious stages I have ever spoken on. To say I was jumping all over the place with the unbridled enthusiasm of a ninja in a leotard high on red cordial, would be a massive understatement. What followed was meeting with my … Read More

So what is Wabi Sabi? Pretty much everything that today’s sleek, perfectly mass-produced, technology-saturated culture is not. It’s flea markets and op shops as opposed to shopping malls, it’s rustic mis-match chairs instead of a perfectly symmetrical chair set, and it’s a bunch of wildflowers rather than a dozen long stemmed red roses. Wabi Sabi is a Japanese philosophy, which … Read More

Do you have a spiritual practice? And if not, why not?

Yet when I started connecting with myself – for that is what a spiritual practice is about, connecting with … Read More

If you’ve ever had someone you care about walk out on you, you know it hurts. Abandonment is a shocking feeling. Yet few people realise they’re abandoning themselves on a daily basis. When we come home from a stressful day and reach for that glass of wine to take the edge of things, we’re numbing ourself. Abandoning ourself. Blinding ourself … Read More

If you’ve read my book Getting Naked – The Dating Game you’ll know I’ve seen my fair share of psychics. Desperate for love, I’d ask when he would arrive. Each time they’d tell me my Prince was coming, and each time I got soooo attached to this outcome, I’d unconsciously sabotage his arrival. Again, and again, and…. yes again… It … Read More

How do you feel when an ‘error’ pops up on your computer screen? Frustrated? Annoyed? Shitty?

In life we experience one of two things: Love or fear. We know we are experiencing love when we feel good, life makes us happy and we are deeply satisfied and content. Unfortunately for most people, this kind of experience is only fleeting, if existent at all. Why? Because we live in a fear-driven society. We are brought up to … Read More

Do you hold your cards too close to your chest? Are you someone who prefers not to share your struggles, your wins, your road map for life?

With a wedding on the horizon, it’s no surprise that my dreams have taken me down the isle of tiaras and cakes and flowers. But last night I had a wedding dream that wasn’t so white and pretty. There I was about to walk down the isle in my big white poufy dress (vintage-style of course!) when I realised my … Read More

Our emotional health is intimately connected to the food we put in our body. We may not think it is, but next time you eat a block of chocolate take the time to notice how you feel emotionally half an hour later. Down. Low on energy. Perhaps even a little cranky? Why is this? Refined sugar is one of the main foods … Read More
